INDEPTH: FOOD SAFETY
Safe to eat?
CBC News Online | September 29, 2003
Every time Canadians prepare a meal, eat some fruit, or even open a package of potato chips, we're putting our trust in food quality. The journey from field to table is a long one, with stops made at inspection stations, at the grocery store, and in the cupboard or refrigerator. Whether raw or processed, bagged or in bulk, the food Canadians eat has the potential to nourish or to harm.
Watch the CBC News Big Picture "Safe to Eat?," a full-day examination of food safety, on CBC Television and CBC Newsworld, Tuesday, September 30, 2003. Look for programming throughout the day on CBC TV and online at CBC.ca.
